I feel the same about drinking-im gonna DVR the game and watch it at night and get hammered

I spoke with my wife about my dilemma and she suggested why not watch the game without drinking... she cracks me up sometimes.

i'd be curious what the split is on people who enjoy watching games against philly vs. people who hate it. personally, i hate it. the stress and angst it causes me when things go sour outweighs the relief i feel when we beat them.

I enjoy being in the arena against Philly, but I do find myself ending up more annoyed with Philly games on TV than any other team.

I'm with you, shmenguin.......I feel like we're the only two people who feel this way though!

It is stressful watching these games, its the type of game where i usually pace in the living room befor faceoff, i make sure my living room is all set up befor the game, phone next to me, food item prepared, beer cold, kids understand Dad is in hockey watching mode "for them it implies do what ever you want til the game is over" But the emotional roller coaster of watching thoes games of us vs them takes it toll.

Same. Most of you can imagine, as you know the household rivalry situation here. But I knew what I was getting into.
